Bar a● the Old-Baily where he was Indicted for the aforesaid Barbarous Murther who after the Jury was call'd and sworn had the boldness or rather Impudence to except both against Judges and Jury too telling the Cour● That they were concern'd in a Plot and Conspiracy against the King and therefore he appeal'd to the King and Council to be tryed Adding That he would not be tryed by those wh● were Enemies to the King and Government However the Court rejecting his frivolous and trifling Arguments proceeded to his Tryal And being asked whether Guilty or not he said He owned that he kill'd the Woman but pleaded Not Guilty of the Murther alledging That the deceased was with several others concern'd in a Plot to take away the King's Life and tha● he had been at several Magistrates whom he named in order to have her and others Apprehended and finding no Warrant could be obtain'd and the King and Nation in danger he conceived it lawful in such a desperate case to execute Justice himself Whereupon four Evidences successively were called who depose● That the Prisoner pursued Mrs. Bullivant shooting o●● Pistol at her in St. Martins near Aldersgate and afte●wards followed her into a Glovers Shop in Bell-Co●●… and there shot her on the left side of the Body of whi●● Wound she immediately dyed And further depose● That he said that he had killed Queen Mary who ha● been there

's Meeting-●ouse But being told that King James's Queen was of 〈◊〉 contrary Religion to come to a Meeting-house He ●eplyed That the very Devils could transform themselves ●nto Angels of Light However the Evidence being ●lain and full the Jury thereupon brought him in Guilty of Wilful Murther and on the Monday follow●ng he received Sentence of Death for the same His Conference with several Divines during his Confinement in Newgate some Dayes before Execution concerning the Barbarous Murther of Mrs. Bullivant A Learned Divine of the Church of England told him That by ●his cruel Murther he had stained the Christians Religion he professed He replyed That tho' many apprehended it to be a Bloody Fact yet ●e thought otherwise of it by reason he thought that Mrs. Bullivant was in a wicked Conspiracy against the present Government But being told A private Person ought not to have killed her but rather have accused her in some Lawful Court of Justice He said He conceived the Fact to be no Murther by reason his Conscience stirred him up to perform it But he was told That was a wicked and Devilish 〈◊〉 word And further asked him Whether any one had hired him to ●urther her He answered in the Negative And being further ●●●stion'd What was the grounds of his Malice against her He ●●●●…rly reply'd That he would give no further Account than what he had done already And seem'd much to

t●● late King James wishing that he had an oppertunity to declare his mi●● to the King about it adding that he knew several of the Plotters b●● being desired to declare who they were He said he would make Confession to any but his Majesty Whereupon it Was demanded in wh●● Profession he Dyed He said in the Faith of a Christian as revailed the Scripture desiring the Ministers not to ask him any more
